Greetings from NCECA - Day 1
Arrived just in time to dump my bags & head over to the conference headquarters for a quick check-in, where I received my official NCECA badge & bag of conference materials. We grabbed our shuttle bus & we were off on the Route 2 tour - Center City, University City & South Philly. There are an amazing amount of ceramic shows here for NCECA. There were 4 different routes to choose from. Highlights from this route (for us) were: Sub Octo Gallery (largest East Coast showing of… Continue

Packed...
I am almost packed. My flight leaves ORD at 8:45am; I arrive in Philadelphia at 11:45am. I plan to dash to my hotel, dump my luggage, then go immediately to the conference headquarters so I can try to jump on a "continuous shuttle bus tour #2" to catch as many galleries & exhibits as I can. I want to see the student show & Magic Gardens (that was an amazing doc - mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar) There is a show co-hosted by the Tile Heritage Foundation (they are fantastically good people)… Continue

For those who haven't seen it, I've got a new article up on Art Jewelry Forum addressing the SNAG Conference and some current conundrums in the field.
"While attending this year’s SNAG Conference in Houston, a chronic nagging question was amplified. What, exactly, is it that I do? In
passing conversations I never seem to be able to explain it to any
acceptable degree without endless digressive… Continue

Greetings Fellow Crafthaus Members!
I've spent the last few days deliberating on what I'd like my final post to address. There are many other bloggers out their who covered exhibitions, lectures, and events very well. From the onset I knew that Anthony Tammaro in particular would be addressing events in a more overarching way, and he's now posted many video interviews and…

Greetings Fellow Crafthaus Members!
I'm exhausted, I feel like my body has spent the last week in the dryer with a load of gym shoes, and my to-do list seems to grow exponentially longer every day since I've returned. A new opportunity to show in Berlin next month means that I won't have much of a rest this week.…

The silver piece is how I figured out my pin catch on an open back before I jumped into it on the gold custom design. I have worked with fold-formed spirals on other pieces and still love the fluid…

Greetings Fellow Crafthaus Members!
So most of you may have heard about my action-packed adventure involving the mysterious disappearance of my Express-Mail-Guaranteed-Overnight-Arriving-at-Noon-the-Next-Day -Package. You know, the package that had all of my giant and hard to take on a plane work? And my Swap Pins? And a lot of other wonderful things like a toothbrush. Yes, I realize that it was a crazy plan. But I've…

Steve Shelby left a comment for John Lunn"Hi John. I love your flute. I worked at a job for 23 years making keys and the metal parts for contrabassoons. Unfortunately, there was no creativity involved. The upside is that I learned a huge amount about working with metal and making tools."
John Lunn replied to John Lunn's discussion SNAG Toronto part 4 in the group Tapestry of Talents: Bringing Your Whole Voice to Your Craft"It is a good article. It's a bit disappointing that the 3 artists they interview are men when it was so obvious that 90% of the Trunk Show exhibitors were women. I'd like to do a blog or two on the influence of women in the arts and how it…"
Steve Shelby commented on Rebecca Rose's group Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately"Hi Rebecca. I have had probably a 50% success rate entering juried exhibitions, which I think is actually pretty good. I don't do shows where you go and peddle your wares from a booth. The exhibitions I've been in are held in art museums…"
